Definitions
- the present invention aims at a syringe in which the needle used is housed inside its plunger without it being able to exit it.
- the glass syringe system for the subcutaneous introduction of medications was invented by the French biologist and physician Carlos Gabriel Pravaz in 1847. This system has been used until the 1970s, when the appearance of the plastic syringes replaced the syringes of glass.
- Syringes or plastic injection have the sanitary advantage of being single-use. Once the needle is used, it is covered again and stored in the cap. In our opinion, there is a risk that the person who manipulates the needle can be punctured when he wants to store the used needle inside the cap, more precisely at the moment when the fingers confront said cap with the tip of the needle. These types of accidents can lead to diseases.
- the present invention consists in the modification of the plunger of a plastic syringe that in a single body forms the outer fins of this plunger on which the index fingers and the user's heart are supported to press with the thumb and make the journey inside the cylinder to inject the medication.
- the cylindrical body or sleeve of the syringe being hollow, receives in its interior the plunger that in turn has crimped at its lower end to the piston, which exerts pressure on the inner walls of that cylinder compressing the air or liquid developing the function for which it was devised.
- fins are adapted just like the one the cylinder has, but covering its mouth with a plastic sheet (same material as the rest).
- This sheet acts as a membrane-shaped lock and is divided into four circular sectors that fold into the plunger. These sectors are part of the body.
- the thickness of the sheet that forms the circular sectors must be thin enough to easily fold into the plunger when the needle is introduced with a small pressure inside.
- This plastic sheet is resistant enough so that the needle, once inside the plunger, does not leave it regardless of the movement that occurs inside. In this way, the upper end or head is closed by the lock.
- This hole serves as a guide to put the needles inside the plunger.
- the plastic sheet will serve as a retainer to prevent its exit. This way you get that:
- Figure 1 shows the profile of the plunger inside which the needle appears.
- Figure 2 shows the plan of the fin assembly plus the mobile piston lock.
- Figure 3 shows a perspective of the fin with the lock.
- Figure 4 shows the elevation of the cut of the fin according to the cutting line 3-3.
- Figure 5 shows a perspective of the whole of the invention. Detailed presentation of an embodiment of the invention
- Figure 1 shows the profile of a plunger (1) of the syringe in which the needle (2) is housed.
- the first thing that goes into the hole of the Plunger (1) is the tip (11) of the needle (2) which is introduced through the opening (8) of the upper head (9) of the plunger (1). In this way, the tip (11) of the needle (2) rests on the lower base (12) of the plunger (1).
- the piston (14) is inserted into the lower end of the plunger (1).
- Figure 2 shows the body plan (3) that forms the fins (4) plus the lock (5).
- the forms that adopt the body (3) that forms the fins (4) can be circular, rectangular etc, all these forms being known in the state of the art.
- the body (3) containing the fins (4) has a circular hole (6) in which the plunger (1) is encased and inserted so that the fins (4) do not move on the outer surface of the plunger (1).
- the fins (4) facilitate the pushing of the piston, which has not been shown, along the inside of the piston (1).
- the lock (5) is constituted by thinner sheets than the body of the fins (4).
- the thickness of the sheet that forms the four circular sectors (7) must be thin enough to easily fold into the plunger (1) and be able to introduce with a small pressure the needle (2) already used inside the plunger (one). This plastic sheet is strong enough so that the needle (2), once inside the plunger (1) does not leave it, regardless of the movement that is caused. In this way, the upper end or head (9) of the plunger (1) is closed by the lock (5).
- This hole (8) serves as a guide to put the needle (2) inside the plunger (1).
- the size of this hole (8) is small enough to not allow the exit of the needle (2) once introduced in the plunger (1), since the diameter is less than the maximum thickness of the head (13) of the needle (2). Therefore, the diameter of this hole ranges between 2.5 and 4 mm.
